Toronto, ON- The Home Bank of Canada $10 Mar. 1, 1904 Ch. #
365-10-10S Specimen
This bank received its charter in 1903 and lasted barely two
decades. Its collapse in 1923 resulted in the largest loss to
creditors and shareholders of any bank failure in Canada up to that
time. All notes on the Home Bank are very scarce to prohibitively
rare, with many of the issued notes unreported to date. In fact
this offering is just the fourth note to be in one of our auctions
and the very first Specimen. The Net grade is for being previously
mounted. Evidence of this former action is slight. PMG Choice
